Homo Deus - Yuval Noah Harari

From the author of the number 1 global bestseller Sapiens **The Top Ten Sunday Times Bestseller** Sapiens showed us where we came from. Homo Deus shows us where we re going. War is obsolete. You are more likely to commit suicide than be killed in conflict. Famine is disappearing. You are at more risk of obesity than starvation. Death is just a technical problem. Equality is out – but immortality is in. What does our future hold? Yuval Noah Harari, author of the bestselling phenomenon Sapiens envisions a not-too-distant world in which we face a new set of challenges. Homo Deus explores the projects, dreams and nightmares that will shape the twenty-first century – from overcoming death to creating artificial life. It asks the fundamental questions: Where do we go from here? And how will we protect this fragile world from our own destructive powers? Homo Deus will shock you. It will entertain you. Above all, it will make you think in ways you had not thought before Daniel Kahneman, author of Thinking Fast, and Slow Dr Yuval Noah Harari has a PhD in History from the University of Oxford and now lectures at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specialising in World History.
